Title: Big brakes behind 17s?
Post by: Ryan_Gti06 on August 24, 2015, 05:34:14 pm

Hi guys it's Nicole, lol jk its Ryan.
Right basically my brakes are pretty worn so wanna renew them soon but am looking to upgrade them slightly, only problem is I'm only on 17" monzas, so was wondering what are my options??? Obviously I'm not looking to fit Lamborghini 42 pots or anything crazy, mainly looking at S3/R32 but will they fit? If not can anyone recommend some pads and discs? Thanks in advance  :happy2:

R32/R20/S3 brakes fit behind 17'' wheels, I have them on my GT Sport. Other than that Brembos 17Z fit as well but they will require wheel spacers with OEM wheels.

I believe @rich83 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=709) has gucci brakes and uses 17's?

Thanks guys, just need to keep an eye out for an S3 setup then. Not sure what a Gucci setup is tho? Would the Porsche setups fit? The NQSBBK?

The NQSBBK fits too but might need spacers with OEM wheels. @DaveB@Vagbremtechnic knows better.
